A few years ago, I bought my husband a Big Green Egg for Christmas. I buried it in our messy garage where it remained hidden until Christmas morning. Although he went into the garage several times during December, he never saw it.
Our garage is messier than the Green Egg is big…
Without a doubt, this has been the family’s best Christmas gift. We’ve all benefited from the greatness he grills and smokes.

A couple of weeks ago before our regular lineup of college football games, he grilled chicken burgers. Chicken because we were attempting to be healthy. His recipe was delicious, and I didn’t miss the ground beef at all. Neither did he. (If you are truly tailgating, make smaller patties for sliders…)
Grilled Chicken Burgers
2 pounds ground chicken breast
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1/4 – 1/3 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 – 1/3 cup parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 egg
1 Tablespoon fresh squeeze lime juice
1 Tablespoon fresh squeeze lime juice
1/4 cup italian seasoned bread crumbs
Note about ingredients: Herbs can be adjusted and/or substituted according to spice and flavor preferences.
Method
Combine chicken, rosemary and parsley.
 |
Add lime juice, egg and breadcrumbs.
Shape into patties and grill.

That’s it!
We served ours with a bit of wasabi mayo, purple onion, tomatoes and arugula. I passed on the bun and served roasted green beans on the side. Fairly healthy for a tailgating at home meal!
